That’s a lot of helium. WILL NOONE THINK OF TEH CHILDRENSES?!?!?
Think of all those party balloons not sent up into the air to choke turtles out to sea!!!
Think of all the funny squeaky voices not done by daddies to amuse their offspring and they end up passing out from oxygen deprivation!!!!
What a waste to put it in this dumb thing that’s gonna blow up anyway killing loads of peepos.
You're thinking of hydrogen. Helium isn't flammable.
I agree that it's a dumb thing, though.
Helium isn't flammable at all. It's a noble gas, which are notorious for their lack of reactivity.
But I agree, it's a dumb thing.
Aren't we going through a helium shortage?
Also, to get helium, you get it from natural gas. Seems like a bad choice when you're trying to move away from fossil fuels.
